My wife is Danish and we go to Denmark a couple of times a year.
Denmark is like a big family of people.
You have to have a little humility if you're Danish because you're never going to be able to travel outside the country unless you can speak another language.
The Danes don't take themselves seriously at all and look for the joke in everything. Us Scots are on the same line of latitude and have the same amount of light, which may be why we have a similar sense of humour.

You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs.
Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, for modernity, and for prosperity. The wealthy pay more because they have benefitted more.
